Remarkable Pistol Shooting.

In shooting gallery in Louisville hangs valuable pistol, one worth about $1Oo, which is the property of whoever will come and take it after fulfilling one trihing condition. The condition is that he shall equal a feat in pistol shooting once performed in this same gallery. A target was set up the usual distance for pistol practice, and about the white moderately large ring was drawn about as wide at any point on the circumference as a quarter of a dollar On this. ring fifty marks were made, so that the centre of the target was surrounded by circle composed of fifty white spots. These were marks, competitors having fifty shots each. William Hanlon, one of the famous aero bats, is great pistol shot, and, some years ago, succeeded in making the re- markable score of forty-nin out of fifty possible hits. This score has never been equalled, and the beautiful pistol, offered as prize still hangs in the gal lcry awaiting an owner. - Chicago Tribune.

THE PROHIBITIONISTS,
The National Committee Promises
 to Work as Never Before.

The national central committee of the Pro- hibition party met at Chicago. Among the Prohibitionists present were Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, ex-Gov St. John, of Kansas, and Mother Stewart, of Ohio, Samuel Dickey of Albion, Mich., was elected Chairman to succeed MT. Finch.
 Indianapolis was decided upon as the place for the party's next National Convention, and the first Wednesday in June, 1888, was named as the day. Prof. Dickey acknowledged his acceptance of the Chairmanship of the Ma tional Committee, first calling for and receiv- ing pledge from each of the members that they would work in the coming campaign as they had never worked before, and above all to see that there should be no move by the Prohibitionists looking to fusion with any other political party whatever.
 A fair audience attended the meeting held by the Prohibitionists at night in honor of the late John B. Finch, the renowned temper ance leader, and chief of the Order of Good Templars. Gen. Clinton B. Fisk of New York presided. The eulogy was pronounced by Miss Frances D. Willard. Shc first told of MT. Finch as boy, and related this anecdote: "A man reels out of dramshop as the boy and his mother pass.

ST. LOUIS BANKING. The POrter'S Refusal to Endorse Votes Didn't Help Him.

Henry Phillips, who served about the burst cd Fifth National Bank as porter, janitor and runner, is German, about fifty years old, and has been with the bank five years. He says that over four years ago he was approached by an official of the bank and asked to endorse several notes whose drawers he did not know. He refused on the ground that his endorse ment would be value'ess, as he owned no property. He was still urged to endorse the notes, and pleaded that in the future he might become property owner and might then become liable to loss on account of some of these endorsements. The banker told him that he could endorse the notes without recourse, as all that was want cd was his signature. Phillips fatly refused, but when threatened with discharge he did finally endorse some of the paper.
 Some time after that he learned from an- other employee that his name was on several notes that he had not endorsed at all, and on asking an explanation he was told that he needn't bother himself, IS if l. is name was on them it was without recourse" and he could not be injured. After that he put his name on all the notes offered him, himself thinking he might as well do it as have it forged there He kept this up till a short time before the failure.
 Janitor Phillips has told this story to Re- ceiver Stephens, and it will be used against the indicted officers of the bank.

MOST FOUND GUILTY.
The Jury at First for Acquittal, Eli
 nally Agree Otherwise.

The jury which tried John Most, the New York anarchist for holding an unlawful as- sembly went out of court seven for acquittal and five for conviction. After four hours ab- sence they came back unanimous for convic- tion.
 Judge Cowing told them that Anarchists. Mahommedans and pagans were all equal be- fore the court. Most was not on trial for his belief or his previous acts or deeds. He was on trial solely for certain words uttered speci- fled in the indictment, and the jury must re- member that it was for those words alone The court must not be made 8 gras-net to catch peop'e for prison on general principles In the speech, as Most said he delivered it, there was nothing at all criminal. It was in bad taste, but it did not violate any law The only question was. what did he say? The best way to combat these new theories was to be just and fair to them. The jury should avoid lynch law. The law must not be strained ct all to convict Most, and if the jury had a reasonable doubt of his guilt they must ac- quit.
 Most's lawyer had day set for motion to appeal, and sentence was reserved.
